CARE OF THE HANDS.
Simple Means That VIII Produce Entirely
Satisfactory Results.

Simple Means That VIII Produce EntIreiy
Satisfactory Results.
1t is the nature of a refined woman to
desire neat-looking hands at the least,
not for the reason that they are the
badge of gentility," but that rough,
with broken and disfgured nails, they
are an unceasing offense to her own
eyes. l heard lady laughingly say
she need never trim her nails; the soda
she used in cleansing her milk cans cut
them down for her. | shuddered even
at the idea. would not have shirked
the can-washing, but l would have
managed it with mop.
Household work and neat hands are
not as incompatible as they seem, if
every means possible is used for the
protection of the hands. l will not say
pretty hands. because work must en-
large the joints, thicken, and, as one
grows older, mar the shape; but, with
little trouble, working hand may be
kept soft and white, with regular,
smooth nails. First, there are rubber
gauntlets, costing a moderate price.
They can be worn while washing
dishes, busting and sweeping, and do
ing any work that will not cut the rub
Der. An old pair of buckskin gloves,
with plenty of newspaper, will keep
the hands spotless in trimming and
cleaning lamps, and free from the
lamp-black, so permeating and hard to
remove. In short, the rule must be:
| Whatever can be done with gloves,
must never be done without them.
When work is done, wash the hands in
tepid water, pressing the skin back at
the base of the nail with the towel as
you wipe them. Pour in the palm q
few drops of glycerine, rub well to-
gether, and wipe dry. If sticky,
powder lightly with starch. AT night
anoint well with glyccrine, and sleep
in gloves. or powder thickly with
starch, which will whiten. as well as
prevent soiling, the bed-clothes.
The care of the nails, as taught by
professionals, is elaborate, though ex-
cellent in its results. increasing their
beauty and making them less liable to
break. But few busy women can spare
the time in the morning for such treat
ment, and are too tired at night. Tho
simple means suggest will produce
dands that, while they minister TO his
wants, tender husband may well de-
sire to touch with his lips,-C3ard

CURIOUS CEREMONY.
How the Mennonite Duukards Select Their
Spiritual Leaders.

An interesting ceremony took place
recently among the Mennonite Dunk
ards of the Bowmansyille district
They met in solemn convention for the
purpose of selecting one Of their num-
Der whose duty it would be to preach
for them every Sunday Tor a certain
number of years. They have no regu-
larly ordained ministers, although the
sect is large and quite wealthy made
up of solid and substantial agricultur-
lists. They dress in the simplest man.
ner, and their religious services fire.
Guently are held at their various farm
houses, where the visitors, who come in
conveyances for miles around, are most
Hospitality entertained. When a va
cancy occurs, by death or by eXpira-
ton Of term Of ministerial service. can
didates for successor are named at
various meetings of the elders. These
candidates are selected from out the
best members of their own congrega-
ton. No man is allowed to be put On
the list who is not in every way worthy
and acceptable to all the church direc-
tors. Then, when all the candidates
have been named within certain
specified time the time for the selection
is set apart.
The recent allotment was largely at
tended. People came from the farms
for fifteen miles around. There were
ten candidates named, all of whom
were present, dressed in somber black
suits and broad-brimmed hats. Ten
Bibles were on desk Mt the end of the
room. In one of those Bibles was
placed thin white card. and the Bibles
were then we'll mixed by the elders, so
that no one knew which contained the
card. After brief service of singing
and PRAYER, an address was delivered
beseeching God to bless the proceedings
and direct the allotment so that the
servant of the Lord who drew the card
would be able and willing to serve
Heaven and the people. tits generally
understood that several of the candi-
dates are named against their will, but
if they are proposed and accepted they
must draw lots.
At the proper time the ten candidates
reverently approached the Bibles, and
each took one of the books in his right
hand and then slowly took his scat.
Then in prayer he slowly opened his
Bible, and. turning to the announced
chapter in the New Testament, he
searched for his card. The candidate
who fouud the card then slowly arose,
made a brief address, delivered prayer,
and. after singing, the ceremony was
closed. His family and relatives re-
joiced at the farm house. and held u
praise meeting. In due time he will
make known his hours for service. and
hereafter all his worldly employment
must be made secondary to his new
life. Henry Il. Good WAS selected. He

ABOUT EASEMENTS.
a Few Reasons why They Should Bo
AbUlAhed Evnrvwhere.

An unhealthy basement usually
means an unhealthy house. Polluted
air is sucked all over the house by the
rise of heated air from the basement
If we must have Easements to live in,
thorough safeguards should be en-
forced. But, for one, wish to record
my protest against our modern living
cellar. A well-ventilated basement is
almost an impossibility from its low
level, and it is 50 difficult to get our
ideal conditions perfectly executed, that
practically they are seldom met with.
have seen Il great many cases of sick
ness which seemed to me due to base
ment-living, and many cases of tuber-
culoss which seemed to have been there
developed. The last is particularly
noticeable among servant girls of for
eign birth. In the experience of ply
sicians in some sections, it is rare to
lind servant girl living and working
in a low basement who has good health,
though previous to coming to this
country and beng subjected to such
conditions, good health is stated to be
the general rule. Many people have
attacks of sickness, following a time OF
exposure In = basement. with great reg
ularity. Would it not be better for
house builders and architects to plan
for dwellings built more above ground
Moro OF lot has to be sacrificed. but
perhaps enough may be saved in health
fitness and stair climbing to compen-
safe for the loss. City yards are OF
slight value at best. A goo1 cellar is
gained by such II change, and upstairs
dining-rooms and Kitchens are not only
luxuries, but, it may be argued, almost
necessities. -PopuiGT Science Nonthly.

Flat-Headed indians.

The custom of hattening the heads by
pressure was about universal among
the Puget Sound Indians. 1t was done
in infancy with hat made of cedar
bark, beaten. pressed steadily on tho
forehead. 1t has been SO often described
by numerous writers that no further
description is here necessary. School
teachers here have been unable to sec
any difference between those whose
heads have thus been hattened and
those which are natural. Some of the
Indians, however, believe that it has
caused numerous headaches among
them in after life. Very few infants
are thus treated now.-American ADIi-
q4arian.

RENOVATlNG BRUSHES.



Woman Earns a Living.
Have you any old hair brushes or
bath brushes you'd like to SELF"
young woman with basket on her
arm asked man the other day. The
young man had u few of the articles
she wanted, but as he was keeping
them handy for the cat that stalketh
and howeth in the darkness and the
organ impressario that grindeth in the
early morn, he couldn' sell. The young
woman saddened and gloom overspread
her face when she hearl that. She
was strengthening girl; that is, if
you saw her pass in the street you
would have to turn and study her.
"What do you want to do with old
brushes?' the young man asked her.
"Hushr she said mysteriously. II

SOME QUEER DISHES.
Odd Tid-Bits Served in Different Portions
of the Globe.

Odd Tid-Blts Served in Different Portions
Of the Globe.
1t has often been said that the man
who first ate raw oyster must have
been not only brave, but hungry. and
although there are few of us who have
been equally brave in tasting new
dishes, we think it safe to say that there
are many more who would have to be
very hungry before eating broiled rat
tle-snake or baked buzzard. and yet
those who have eaten broiled snake
declare it to be, when properly cooked,
excellent eating.
A few winters ago, in Florida, l was
invited to feast in the wilderness, and
ate heartily of a delicious roast of
meat; on asking for second plate l
inquired what it was, and was told
that it was roast wildcat. Not for the
whole State of Florida could l have
eaten another mouthful, and yet my
vis-a-vis exclaimed; "Wild-cat?-it IS
deliciousn' How could he? thought.
Of course L was glad afterward that l
had tasted wildcat, but | could not
have felt any more uncomfortable for
awhile if they had told me that l had
eaten part OF the alligator l had seen
brought in from the swamp that morn
ing, or pie made of the beautiful lit
tie chameleons that were to be found
everywhere; and in fact ] am not quite
sure but that some of the tough black
steaks that we had at the st. Augustine
and Jacksonville hotels were not ALI
gator steaks. However, every one to
his taste; the Chinaman will tell you
that mice are Every good eating" the
Frenchman that horse-hesh "is excel
lent" the negro that 'possum and
coon IAN delicious" the cannibal that
nothing equals the flesh of his enemy,
and SO on.
A Chinese student tells us that locusts
on toast is as fashionable a dish in
northern China as quail on toast is in
America, and we see no reason to
doubt his assertion that they are de-
licious eating. To prepare them the
locusts are thrown into hot dry pot
and covered. When they are dead a
handful of salt is thrown in, and they
are stirred until crisp; then serve on
toast. They are said to resemble q salt
herring in taste.
One of the dainties of Florida sea-
side hotel last winter was Frenched
conch, and many guest ate it and en-
oyed it without knowing exactly what
it was. 1t is the fish whose beautiful
pink shells are made SO much of in
Florida, and it is good eating when
properly cooked. 1t is usually fried in
batter, or made into soup.
An odd way Of entertaining is to
serve national dinners, such as a
Swedish dinner, at which every dish
has been prepared in Swedish fashion.
One very important feature might be
the use Of black bread which can only
be obtained from Swedish baker.
Another Swedish dish is an omelet
made with grated cheese, butter and
milk, and cooked in the dish in which
it is served. A Scotch dinner consists
of kali soup, kippered salmon, haggis,
hgiblet pie, oal-cake, barley scone, and
guild cauld water. -Harper'S BGzGr.

Charleston Gets There.

NASHVILLE, June 16.--The story of
Nashville's defeat by Charleston to-day is a
brief one. In the second inning the visitors
batted Kelly for nine bases, and aided by
glaring errors of the home team, they piled
up eight runs in this inning. Kelly's wild
Smith played a strong game throughout
and was well supported by Grady. Grady
had finger broken in the ninth inning and
had to retire. The home team played pretty
well toward the end, but the crowd was
already very tired. Nashville's errors were
glaring, while the visitors played an almost
faultless fielding game. The score was:
Nashville ........ 0 0 0 0 0 o. 3
Charleston. ....... 8 o 0 / 0 o Oil

varies from I'M sos. to hour 55m. lbs. and
the ''Tannhaeuser" brand of the Bergner &
